RICHMOND, Va. - The VCU women's basketball team is off to a solid 2-1 start and the Rams will have to continue to rely on some unknown faces to step up throughout the season after losing three seniors who were critical to the program's success.

Head Coach Beth Cunningham will look for players such as sophomore Daphne Adebayo to take major steps forward this year as the Black & Gold look to continue to be a power in the CAA.
